| Govt's 'new job policy' falls flat as ReT workers pitch for 'reviewing' policy | | | Srinagar, Sept 27: With the already rising inflation the job policy initiated by State Government last year has proven to be good for nothing for the employees working as Rehbar-e-Taleem (ReT) and majority of ReT workers claimed that 'new job policy' is nowhere to be called as "initiative of government" as it is only aimed against their interests.
ReT workers who get meager monthly honorarium have appealed government to revise the policy on humanitarian grounds so that they may not suffer by earning a meager amount monthly.
Bashir Ahmed Ganai, a regularized ReT worker told Kashmir based news agency GNS that under this recruitment policy, the teachers working in a government school are being given a meager amount of Rs. 100 a day, "while a laborer working under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) earns more than 400 rupees a day."
"We have to serve food to the students under Midday Meal Scheme while as an MGNREGA worker is given decent food by the contractor or the person for whom he works. There is insurance cover for the laborer while as nothing like that exists for the teacher," he added.
Irked over the ever increasing price hike and their meager salaries, another ReT worker Zahoor Ahmed while narrating his misery to GNS said, "Out of rupees 100 a day paid to us by government we are buying 1 kilogram onion at rupees 90.
This is pathetic, how come we will survive through such meager amount." The job policy which was implemented last year outlines any person appointed under the policy for Class-III and Class-IV posts shall be paid fixed monthly salary equivalent to 50 percent of the basic pay (Pay Band+Grade Pay) for the first 2 years at the minimum of the Pay Band.
Job policy envisages that for the next 3 years or during the remaining period out of total five years (if the period of probation has been extended) such an employee would be entitled to receive fixed salary of about 75 percent of the basic pay (PB+GP) at minimum of the Pay Band. For five years they would not get any Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance and City Compensatory Allowance. (GNS) |
